Boil quail eggs in water until hard-boiled, about 5-7 minutes.

Cool the eggs in ice water, then peel them carefully.

In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper.

Add water and orange food coloring to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Dip each peeled egg into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.

Carefully place the coated eggs into the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally.

Remove the eggs and drain on paper towels.

Serve with vinegar, soy sauce, and chili sauce for dipping.
